The Making Music blog has posted a nice roundup of free software for making music.

The list covers mostly Windows programs. I know that when I was in college I would have been plenty excited to stumble onto a list like this. For starving, aspiring musicians out there (or just musicians on a budget), this list has a lot of good software worth checking out.

Strangely missing from the list is the much-loved open-source, open-platform Audacity. Any musician-readers out there with a suggestion or two missing from the list? Let us know in the comments or send an email to tips at lifehacker.com.
